Seven sermons on several select subjects preached

1. Christ doth compassionate all his Sheep, and this I ground upon that forecited Scripture, Isa. 40.11. He shall gather the Lambs in his Arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young: Christ you see is tender of his Lambs, and puts them in his bosom near his Heart; and such as are faint he gently leads. Oh! the bowel Mercies of Christ to his elect Sheep; that's the first, Christ loves his Sheep, he doth ⟨p. 176⟩compassionate them; his bowels yearn over them.

2. Christ doth not only compassionate his Sheep, but he doth Comfort them, the people of Christ who are his Sheep, they are given to trembling; Sheep are a trembling▪ a very fearful creature, and are apt to be discouraged; now Christ, he comforts them, and revives them, Isaiah 12.1. Thou comfortedst me. Christ comforts his people, two ways.
